  5. Pricing and payment: The Fan entering into a Creator Interaction agrees to pay the applicable Fan Payment plus any Indirect Sales Tax, which the Company and its Subsidiaries are authorised to collect. The Company is also authorised to deduct the FIL Fee, to pay out Creator Earnings, and to pay applicable referral payments.
  6. Subscriptions and Renewals: When you select "Subscribe," you agree to start a Subscription. A Subscription will automatically renew at the current rate (plus Indirect Sales Tax). You authorise the Company to charge you again after each Subscription, unless: (i) your payment is declined and you have not provided another payment; (ii) the Subscription price has increased; (iii) you switched off the "Auto-Renew" feature on the Creator's account; or (iv) you close your CandFans account before the new Subscription period begins. By selecting "Subscribe," you agree to these provisions, and acknowledge that you will not receive further notice regarding the renewal of that Subscription.
  7. Licence of Content: As part of a Creator Interaction, the Creator grants a Creator Interaction Licence. The Creator Interaction Licence permits a Fan access to Relevant Content.
  8. Ownership of Content: The Creator Interaction Licence does not grant any Fan ownership rights to the Relevant Content.
  9. Expiry of licence: The Creator Interaction Licence expires automatically without notice:
    • if the Fan Payment related to the Creator Interaction was unsuccessful, charged back, or reversed;
    • if the Creator deletes either the Relevant Content or their Creator account;
    • when an active Subscription period ends;
    • if the Fan's account is suspended or terminated;
    • if the Fan breaches the CandFans Terms of Service;
    • if Relevant Content is removed from the Creator's account or the Creator's account is suspended or terminated; and
    • if the Fan closes their account.
  10. Removal of Content: The Company reserves the right to remove any Content from a Creator's account at any time. The Fan participating in the Creator Interaction acknowledges that Creators may remove Content, including pay-per-view Content at any time.
  11. Cancellation and refunds: In respect of every Creator Interaction:
    • The Fan will gain access to the Relevant Content within 14 days of the Creator Interaction. The Fan agrees that any statutory right to cancel the Creator Interaction under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83, or any other equivalent applicable law is therefore not applicable regarding any Creator Interaction other than a Subscription.
    • This Agreement does not affect any statutory right to a refund which a Fan may have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, UE Directive 2011/83 or any other applicable law.
    • Cancellations and refunds also are subject to the Company's Terms of Use.

    • The Fan and the Creator agree to comply at all times with CandFans Terms of Service.
    • The Creator is solely responsible for creating and publishing Relevant Content.
    • The Creator warrants that it possesses all necessary rights to grant a Creator Interaction Licence.
    • The Creator agrees to provide Paid Relevant Content once the Fan has made the Fan Payment.
    • The Fan acknowledges that third parties may assist Creators in operating their accounts and in Creator Interactions.
    • The Fan agrees to make the Fan Payment required to access Paid Relevant Content.
    • The Fan agrees not to initiate a chargeback unless the Fan disputes the Creator Interaction in good faith.
    • The Fan assumes all risk of accessing the Relevant Content unless the Creator engages in negligence or another breach of duty.
  13. No guarantees: The Fan participating in the Creator Interaction acknowledges that circumstances may prevent access to Relevant Content, including if the availability of all or any part of CandFans is suspended or inaccessible.
  14. Applicable law and forum for disputes:
    • To the greatest extent permitted by the laws of the place where you live, this Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, which will apply to any claim that arises out of or relates to this Agreement. The Fan will also be able to rely on mandatory rules of the law of the country where they live.
    • Where claims can be brought:
      • Any Fan resident in the United Kingdom or the European Union may bring a claim under this Agreement in the courts of England and Wales or the country where the Fan lives.
      • All other Fans must bring a claim under this Agreement in the courts of England and Wales.
  15. Severability: In the event any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, or is prohibited by law, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the remainder of this Agreement shall be valid and binding as though such invalid, unenforceable, or prohibited provision were not included herein.
